What happens when air resistance is increased? The increase in speed leads to an increase in the amount of air resistance. Eventually, the force of air resistance becomes large enough to balances the force of gravity. At this instant in time, the net force is 0 Newton; the object will stop accelerating. The object is […]

What does it mean when a ambulance lights are on but no siren? Generally, when the lights are on but the siren is not activated, the crew is just tired of hearing the noise and only using the siren at intersections. The problem with that is that it’s not legal. Why does an ambulance not […]

Can a meteor hit the sun? No asteroids have ever been observed to hit the Sun, but that doesn’t mean that they don’t! Orbits within in a Kirkwood gap are not stable, and any asteroid whose orbit wanders into such a region will eventually get pulled into a different orbit, which may take it into […]

Can you please look into it? Sometimes, when we lack the time, we ask someone else to look into a problematic situation for us. Both of the given sentences — “Can you please look into it?” and “Please look into it” — are ways of asking for someone’s help with the investigation. Both use the […]

Do small trailers need lights? Trailer Lights Trailers in California are required to have reflectors, tail, brake, and license plate lights. Signal lights are also required if the tow vehicle’s lights are hidden. Trailers over 80 inches wide must have clearance lights. What color are clearance lights? Real clearance lamps, identification lamps, and those marker […]

What is the best geometric shape? Triangles Whats stronger circle or triangle? The answer is the triangle, because of the way it distributes pressure. I’m assuming you’re referring to an equilateral triangle? The circle ie the strongest shape because it maintains constantly pressure , There is no inherent leverage as all points are at a […]

How will you increase the measure of temperature in an object? All particles are moving and have kinetic energy…. Actions that Increase Thermal Energy Explanation Raise the temperature of the object Increases the kinetic energy of the atoms or molecules Pull atoms or molecules that attract one another farther apart Increases the potential energy of […]

What are some examples of seafloor spreading? Seafloor spreading occurs along mid-ocean ridges—large mountain ranges rising from the ocean floor. The Mid-Atlantic Ridge, for instance, separates the North American plate from the Eurasian plate, and the South American plate from the African plate. What is used to measure bathymetry? ADCPs measure water velocity by transmitting […]

What 3 places on earth do convection currents occur? Convection currents occur within: the atmosphere – wind. the hydrosphere – ocean currents. How convection takes place in the mantle? The mantle is heated from below (the core), and in areas that are hotter it rises upwards (it is buoyant), whereas in areas that are cooler […]

Why the number of protons and number of electrons are equal? Actually the proton and electron count of an atom are equal only when the atom is neutral in charge. The electrons are found in orbitals surrounding the nucleus. In order for the atom to remain electrically neutral the protons and electrons must balance each […]
